Nice. I've been drooling over even bigger screens, but you basically double the price every jump in size. 22" are roughly $300 (I like the deal you struck, btw), 24" are roughly $550, and the massive 30" screens are a whopping $1200+. Ouch. I could seriously see dual 30" screens, although I don't think I made my desk big enough!
